DECEMBER 2020
As we head towards the end of term, we have made the decision to try to alleviate the workload for school staff by offering a range of independent work here for anyone in the class needing to self-isolate. Obviously, should our bubble close then we will return to providing daily video inputs and tasks for you but trying to do this and teach the majority of the class in school has proven extremely time-consuming. Below you will find an explanation of the work available here and the resources to download. If you have any problems, please email me on stephaniet@eastmeonprimary.co.uk. Keep any work you have done to bring back to school with you and we can stick it into your books. We can't wait to see you back at school soon!!

Resources for Week 3 - Week beginning 16th November 2020
The Great Fire of East Meon Primary!!!
Great Fire of London dance
Our Stop Go Animations
Adventurers classroom became a temporary film studio today as the children had a go at creating their own stop go animations based on the Great Fire of London. Check out our class movie of the edited highlights above!!
There was much excitement today as the last of the Year 2's lockdown learning gems were finally counted out and added to the jars! Year 1's will be adding theirs next week!
October 14th 2020
This week, Adventurers have been thinking about how London has changed since the time of the Great Fire. They discussed how people from other countries have travelled to live in our country. They enacted this on the playground by holding flags to represent different countries and they then travelled to join the children in the middle to create a wonderful mixture of cultures and backgrounds.
On Thursday 8th October the Adventurers each formed their own individual Harvest loaves. We thought about the reasons the loaves were shaped as a wheatsheaf whilst we moulded them. The Adventurers were able to describe that the Harvest loaf is shaped as a wheatsheaf to thank God for the food he has provided in our world and also to thank Farmers for the Harvest. We discussed the journey of bread from the field to our shops and really enjoyed talking about our favourite types of bread and their fillings! Yum!
Our Harvest loaves were a messy job but we worked hard to separate our dough into 10 equal sized balls, then roll the balls into sausages before twisting some around each other to make it look like a wheatsheaf. Well done Adventurers!
